Davis
hit a go-ahead triple to help the Brewers win 5-3 in 12 innings Monday
and started the winning rally this time with a leadoff double against
Kevin Siegrist (0-1). Milwaukee is a major league-best 20-7, two more
victories than the previous franchise best for the opening month, and
11-1 on the road.

Carlos Gomez homered and pitcher Kyle Lohse had a
two-run single for the Brewers, who have won five of six. Tyler
Thornburg (3-0) struck out four in two scoreless innings and Francisco
Rodriguez finished for his 13th save in 13 chances.

Yadier Molina
hit a three-run homer in the first and Allen Craig's RBI triple tied it
in the seventh for the Cardinals, who have lost three of four.

The Brewers, missing four starters, improved to 4-1 in extra innings. The Cardinals are 0-3.

PHILADELPHIA
(AP) — Jonathon Niese pitched seven steady innings on a rainy night and
Daniel Murphy had three hits to lead New York over Philadelphia.

Ruben
Tejada doubled and had two RBIs for the surprising Mets, who chased
Cole Hamels (0-2) in the fifth and have won seven of nine. They improved
to 15-11 overall, marking the first time New York has been four games
over .500 since July 14, 2012.

Marlon Byrd homered and Ryan Howard
had two hits with a double for Philadelphia, which lost for only the
third time in nine games.

The start was delayed by rain for 1
hour, 28 minutes, and the temperature at first pitch was a chilly 46
degrees. But the weather hardly affected Niese (2-2), who gave up four
hits while striking out five and walking one.

CINCINNATI
(AP) — Billy Hamilton hit his first career homer and Chris Heisey
singled home the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning, sending Cincinnati
past Chicago in a game delayed three times because of rain.

The
game started 19 minutes late. There was a 15-minute delay in the top of
the fifth and a 71-minute delay in the bottom of the sixth.

Hamilton's
solo shot off Jeff Samardzija (0-3) tied it in the fifth. Zack Cozart
tripled with two outs in the sixth, and Heisey's pinch-hit single put
the Reds ahead as heavy rain started to fall.

Alfredo Simon (4-1)
gave up five hits, including Starlin Castro's two-run single. Jonathan
Broxton retired all three batters in the ninth for his fifth save in
five chances.

The Cubs have lost five of six, falling to 8-17.
Chicago manager Rick Renteria was ejected for arguing balls and strikes
in the sixth.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Angel
Pagan hit a leadoff homer, Buster Posey connected two batters later and
Yusmeiro Petit went six innings in a spot start for injured Matt Cain as
San Francisco beat San Diego.

Cain was scratched after cutting
the tip of his right index finger. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said
before the game that Cain was in the clubhouse kitchen and had a knife
in his hand when the utensil dropped. Cain tried to catch it and cut his
finger about a half-inch. He is expected to make his next start.

Petit
(2-1) didn't allow a hit until Everth Cabrera's leadoff single in the
fourth. Jean Machi and Santiago Casilla finished the three-hitter.

Hector
Sanchez hit a two-run single and a sacrifice fly. Pagan and Posey
homered off Eric Stults (1-3), who gave up five runs and seven hits in 2
2-3 innings.
